Currently you have to do: yum upgrade --tmprepo=http://koji.fedoraproject.org/scratch/roland/task_1965799/repodata/repomd.xml ...I'm looking at updating the tmprepo plugin so you could do something like: yum upgrade --tmprepo=koji:roland,1965799 > > I've just never had any trouble running yum localinstall against the > > resulting rpms. > > Nor have I, after either spending some time operating my mouse to download > the right ones, and trying three different times to have it tell me I > missed one I forgot was actually a dependency of the one I needed to test, > or else spending the same 10 minutes again every time (I know, I should > just write it down) to figure out how to make wget or curl download the > whole directory full without filling my world with files called > 'index.html?M=D.2' or following too many links and trying to download the > entire koji site.

Of course having real repos. will still be much nicer, IMNSHO. -- James Antill - [email protected] http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/releases http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/whatsnew/3.2.26 http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/YumMultipleMachineCaching -- buildsys mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/buildsys
